Label your freezer bags or plastic containers with the contents and the freezing date. Make sure you go through the contents of your freezer regularly to check that items aren’t past their best.

Freezing intensifies the seasoning, so taste the soup when you reheat and adjust the seasoning to taste.

For easy storage, ladle soups into sturdy freezer bags, place in rigid plastic containers and freeze until solid. Once frozen, remove the containers and your soups will be frozen into easily storable shapes.
